embers

painting titled Radiance, by Rob Hefferan

embers

That heat you leave on the bed
when you wake up ...
nothing so soft, nothing so subtle
and elusive, nothing so intimate.
... The warmth of your body,
bird feathers,
lightness of a wing,
unknown angel left
his invisible presence
in that place which delineates
imprecise, your body;
your body, light weight,
but dim, dimmer, the warmth
that afterglow
without matter, without form,
weightlessness diluted
last fading embers ...
Border vague limit not being,
that heat silent and deep
which amounts fingers
current love,
Dew wire wrapping
burning in a target
the heart
